For all you American Idol fans, the race is on. Four guys are holding firm in the competition: Casey James, Todrick Hall, Tim Urban and Alex Lambert. All are from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Considering that about 100,000 hopefuls tried out for Idol this year, the 9th season, there is hope that one of them could win. Simon Cowell said in a telephone interview with the Dallas Morning News Feb. 23 that he wasn’t sure any of them would win, and thought they were all equal at that point. My favorite at first was Casey James, but then over the last week in February, I liked Alex Lambert’s performance best.
However, I can’t help but believe one of the girls is going to win this year’s competition. My favorites are Crystal Bowersox, who sang “Long as I can See the Light,” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Lilly Scott, who sang “A Change is Gonna Come.” Both performances, I thought, were fantastic.
If there is one thing about Idol that could be improved, it’s the way the contestants dress. If I were a singer and had gotten that far, I think I would dress a little better. In one of the shows, one of the female contestants one night was wearing a black-and-white striped long-sleeved blouse with a short brightly colored flowered skirt. It was atrocious! You’d think one of the Idol fashion experts would help the Idols pick out something more appealing to wear. When you’re dressed well, you feel more like a star - which is what you’re after. I don’t know if they get an allowance for clothes per show, but it sure would help. One of the guys one night actually had holes in his jeans. This may be fashionable, but I wouldn’t wear it on national TV.
The Top 12 will soon be chosen, and I can’t wait. I’m a fan - but I hope the show can survive when Simon Cowell leaves. He really makes it, but I hope they get rid of Ellen - she’s dead weight, as far as I’m concerned - too much chattering and saying the same thing.
